Description
When clicking the "+" button on a repo to make a new session, it's unreasonable to not use main as the default branch for it.
It would be fine to make it configurable what the default is, but choosing the last used one is almost guaranteed to be wrong.

Research direction
Start at the /chat view and trace the + button flow for creating a repository session. Check how the new session's branch is selected and where the last-used branch is retained. Done means clicking + defaults to main rather than the last-used branch, with any resulting behavior covered by the relevant tests.
